00:00:09
Speaker 1: Hey there, everybody, and welcome to Morning Run. It is Monday, August seventeenth. I made me Robot and I'm TJ.

00:00:16
Speaker 2: Holmes Morning Run on the road. Right now, we've uh, you know what, the show's not on the road. We're on the road and we just happen to stupid work. And that's a better way to put it. That's hues that we do. We don't take the show on the road. We just vacation.

00:00:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, keep working exactly. I think I said one recent post on Instagram. The great thing about working for yourself is that you can work. So sorry, you can vacation. Wait, I screwed it up.

00:00:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's on Monday. It's Monday, folks. It's been a good start for vacation. Yeah, you got you still.

00:00:47
Speaker 1: Vacation while you work. But the bad thing is you have to work while you're on vacation. Oh my god, something like that. But now I've just completely screwed it up.

00:00:54
Speaker 3: You know that's on me.

00:00:54
Speaker 2: I shouldn't have brought anything up. Just say good morning and head out for the Monday Morning Run. And that's what we're gonna do.

00:00:58
Speaker 1: Now.

00:00:58
Speaker 2: We're gonna be making stops in sheses Michigan, in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, London, Indiana, Virginia, as well as at the box office where we start this morning with a shaker out of Hollywood. Robes A an actress who has been acting robes since she was littleally months.

00:01:15
Speaker 3: Old, has passed away at the very young age of thirty six.

00:01:19
Speaker 1: Yes, this was absolutely heartbreaking, chilling. I think just about everybody who's listening knows actress Hayden Penny Ataire, Piano Taire. I can never say her name correct, but it's She has just been a staple of Hollywood on the big screen on the small screen. She has died at the age of thirty six, probably best known for her roles in the screen Franchise as well as the TV shows Heroes and Nashville. And it was just a few months ago, Babe, that she published a book where she talked about her time as a young actress in Hollywood, her struggles. The name of the book this is Me Reckoning.

00:01:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, she has talked a lot about in the past and look we've seen her go through publicly, the struggles with addiction, with alcoholism, with a postpartum depression as well. There is no cause of death. That has been announced at this point, but her rep put it this way that she was an incredible light and a force of nature who brought a measurable love and joy to all who knew her. We will be talking more in detail about her career and what we know so far about her death as you can look for that, and the next episode will have posted on our feed after this one.

00:02:25
Speaker 1: Yes, that's right, but next up on the run. This was an unbelievable scene in rural Michigan. Michigan police say it was a thirteen year old girl who first alerted them to a mass shooting when she called nine one one reporting that she herself had been shot several times. Police arrived to the home to find the young girl alive, but three other family members were found dead in the home, a man, a woman, and another teenager a sixteen.

00:02:54
Speaker 2: Year old boy, but the victim, who was shot at least four times, according to family, isn't stable condition. Now she was able to identify the shooter as thirty nine year old Chad Hickman. Now this sent off a massive man hunt in the area, and as part of the man hunt, police were led to another residence where they found another man dead before then later finding Hickman, the suspect, dead in a wooded area, along with a twenty nine year old woman that was next to him. They have not released Robes all the details about the connections and the relationships between all these people. But by this count, do I have this right, Rodes? We had five people dead, you have the potential shooter dead and a thirteen year old girl recovering in the hospital right now. So they are trying to piece all this together.

00:03:41
Speaker 1: Yes, and we will have a full wrap up of that story as well, because there are so many twist and turns in that one. But except on the run. The suspect and a college campus shooting this weekend has been arrested after police found him hiding in a dorm room closet. Police a nineteen year old Cameron Harris shot five people Saturday outside of a residence hall right on campus.

00:04:04
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's prompted a lockdown and an intense manhunt. Terris.

00:04:08
Speaker 2: The suspect is not a student at the school and was eventually located in a residence hall. Again, like you said, hiding in a closet. Four of the five victims are not students at the school. There is no motive here, but robes. Like we just said, they were reporting initially you had one shooter, but now they're looking into the possibility of potentially there were other shooters involved, So they don't know if it was a self defense situation or these folks were actually shooting each other as part of an altercation, and if anybody else who fired actually hit anybody else.

00:04:40
Speaker 3: So, my goodness, a mess on this college campus.

00:04:42
Speaker 1: But everyone who was shot is alive. I believe one is critically injured, but one has already been released from the hospital. So the good news is no deaths in that shooting spree. Next up on the Run, it didn't make landfall, but Hurricane Lalla was still able to wreak havoc on Hawaii. The storm slowly made its way yesterday as it was downgraded from a Category one hurricane to a tropical storm.

00:05:06
Speaker 2: Now hundreds of thousands of folks without power. Heavy rains led to widespread flooding and mudslide warnings all over the place. They did have reports of up to one hundred homes swept away by the water. If you see some of these pictures, they are really stunning. Frankly, unbelievable. It looks like some ai stuff to put this together. They also had severe wind damage. But again, even though it wasn't able to make landfall, it still is causing all kinds of hell.

00:05:32
Speaker 1: My goodness, we'll stick with Mother Nature's fury and next up on the run. Several people are dead now after a historic flooding in Indiana. It stretched over several days last week. It was all part of that storm system that triggered tornadoes and flash flooding throughout the Midwest. Indiana even broke a one hundred year old record rainfall and river crusting. At least seven people are confirmed dead in those floodwaters.

00:05:59
Speaker 2: Continuing on the Run here now. Opening statements scheduled for this morning. In the trial of Dwayne Davis, the man accused of orchestrating the murder of rap Icon Tupac Shakur thirty years ago, Davis was bleeded not guilty to murder for his role. His role is not one of pulling the trigger, though authority say he actually orchestrated the killing and also provided the murder weapon in that nineteen ninety six Vegas shooting of Tupac. Is the only person Davis who ever be charged in the murder.

00:06:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, this should be interesting to hear opening statements and testimony begin after all those years. All right. Next up on the Run, Week four, The Lindsay Clancy triple murder trial resumes today in Massachusetts. The prosecution is expected to wrap up their case as soon as this week after two full weeks of frankly gutting an emotional testimony from law enforcement, friends, family, medical professionals in this trial. But it has been a doozy, just so much emotion in that court room.

00:06:55
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Clancy here, it's not a question of whether or not she killed the kids. She admits to doing so, a claim she is not criminally responsible for their deaths because she was suffering from postpartum psychosis. Prosecutors trying to establish that Clancy acted intentionally and premeditated the kid's death, then faked a suicide attempt afterwards. Testimony is set to be in again this morning. No testimony on Friday. They had the day off, whether that they need to work something out or he just gave Yeah, they had something to work out.

00:07:24
Speaker 1: Yeah, jury was off, Yes, so yeah, they had another They've had a couple of days where they haven't worked throughout the week, but it's been pretty intense and it should be again once again today, all right. Next up on the run, Accused double murderer Nick Reiner wants access to his one point six million dollar trust fund set up by his parents shortly after his birth, all to pay for a private lawyer, but the trustee for the fund says he can't have it, so both sides are in a California courtroom today to hash it out.

00:07:54
Speaker 2: There's something called the Slayer Statute that the funds trustee has pointed to which prevents anyone from inheriting money from people they foloniously and intentionally kill. If that's in there, that sounds pretty straightforward.

00:08:08
Speaker 1: It does. But because Reiner has pleaded not guilty to killing both of his parents, of course Hollywood legends, Rob and Michelle Reiner, his attorneys are arguing he's innocent until proven get guilty, and because he's been convicted of nothing, the Slayer statute shouldn't apply.

00:08:25
Speaker 3: Hell of a technicality.

00:08:26
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the trust he makes this point, Okay, so if we release the funds now, it would make them irreversible because he's wanting to use this to pay for his private lawyer that he had at one point, Alan Jackson get rid of his public defender. So yeah, if he is found guilty, they can't recoup that money. Therein lies the rub and right.

00:08:47
Speaker 3: Now he has a public defender.

00:08:48
Speaker 2: He wants his high profile defender, attorney Alan Jackson back. He had him initially for a hot second, I think for one hearing maybe, but he's trying to get that money. I'm very curious to see how how a judge would rule on this.

00:09:00
Speaker 1: We will hopefully find out today. But next up on the run. The British Prime Minister is calling for a moment of reflection after the death of doctor Jason R.

00:09:08
Speaker 3: Day.

00:09:09
Speaker 1: Our Day was the youngest black professor in the history of Cambridge University, and he was found dead at his home in London on Friday.

00:09:17
Speaker 2: They had just recently resigned believe it was August fifth, resigning from the prestigious university after weeks of an intense public campaign in which he faced accusations of plagiarism and accusations that he embellished parts of his personal backstory, and a statement his family said the campaign of misinformation was too much for Jason. They didn't know police having given a definitive of a cause of death, but they said it was unexpected and suspicious in the family's words, certainly suggest he took his own life.

00:09:46
Speaker 1: Yes, and Prime Minister Andy Burnham called for our Day's death to be called Our Day's death a tragedy on so many levels, and he asked for people to stop the judgment right now and actually take time to reflect on how it all came to this, that intense public scrutiny, the criticism, the comments. I mean he was threatened. He didn't even want to leave his house, they said in the days leading up to his death.

00:10:13
Speaker 2: The hiring practices need to be looked at as well. A lot of people pointing to Cambridge making a colossal mistake in this one. Continuing on the run here on this Monday morning. Now or Robes, how did this sound to you? Did it sound like President Trump either insulted or threatened Jeanine Piro with this post?

00:10:31
Speaker 3: Did I go? Is that about right?

00:10:32
Speaker 1: I would say both.

00:10:33
Speaker 2: I think it was directed at her. You all tell us. But the President continues to make a push for someone, anybody, please get charged for vandalism at the reflecting pool, so I could blame somebody other than the people I hired to fix the pool. But yes, charges, as you will remember, were dropped against four people initially charged with vandalism, and in dropping the charges, Jeanine Piro said, rushed, botched installation was the blame rope for the problems at the reflecting pool.

00:11:02
Speaker 1: That's right. But President Trump, we know, criticized Purou for the move and has kept up his unsubstantiated claims that yes, vandals are responsible, not botched installation. And at nine pm last night, the President posted this to truth Social This is I don't think this is a veiled threat or criticism whatsoever. He said, Look what vandals did to the grass connecting the vandalized World War II monument and the vandalized reflecting pool, which will be opened again and better than ever shortly. Anybody who thinks the reflecting pool wasn't vandalized should go back to law school.

00:11:42
Speaker 3: That's an insult as oh, and stupid or somebody stupid.

00:11:47
Speaker 1: That's pretty sure he's calling her stupid.

00:11:49
Speaker 3: That's his employee. Pretty sure she works for him. That's tough.

00:11:53
Speaker 1: Yes, for how long? We don't know?

00:11:55
Speaker 2: Huh, you know, Jeanine Piro. All right, well, folks, stay with us here on this Monday morning run when we come back. The President was also doing some other posting on social media, and he was making a very public push to make sure we don't have to change our clocks twice a year anymore. We will explain also a legendary picture with the legendary name has passed away, and Spider Man certainly at legendary status at the box office.

00:12:30
Speaker 1: Welcome back to your Monday morning run. And next up on the run, the President is pressing for permanent daylight saving time. Wow, that was alliterative sentence. The President is pressing for permanent daylight saving time. Okay, you put Piper a peck of pickled Wow.

00:12:47
Speaker 3: Not today by picked a peck?

00:12:49
Speaker 2: Remember, no, no, baby, you remember how you started at the top. You knew you weren't good, and you're going to try that now.

00:12:55
Speaker 1: I just repeated myself. I just wanted to prove to everybody how poorly I can speak. Sometimes say the.

00:13:01
Speaker 3: First started over, Start that line over again?

00:13:04
Speaker 1: Really, okay, one more time, just for a good old time, say to the President is pressing for permanent daylight saving time. The Sunshine Protection Act, passed by the House would end our twice a year practice of changing our clocks by an hour, making daylight saving time permanent.

00:13:21
Speaker 2: So where we are now, what we're dealing with now, we wouldn't change the clocks any game. We would just stay where we are. Yes, you liked the idea initially, well, but you.

00:13:29
Speaker 1: Made some good points. We had an actual episode about the cause to keep it on standard time. Yes, I'm for not changing the clocks, okay, And.

00:13:38
Speaker 2: If we're gonna do that, we should stick with standard time. Is the argument, the scientific, almost the consensus scientific argument.

00:13:47
Speaker 1: Once I heard those points, made it made sense because initially I like the idea of daylight saving time. I like the idea of more sunshine.

00:13:57
Speaker 2: Yes, but then you get into the winter and you haven't changed your clocks, and your kids are waiting at nine o'clock in the morning for the bus in pitch black darkness. In some places in this country, it's just eight ropes eight eight point thirty.

00:14:12
Speaker 3: It's pitch black dark you okay with that?

00:14:14
Speaker 1: No?

00:14:15
Speaker 2: Or six months out of the year, no, yeah, you probably wouldn't be anyway. So this act has been passed in the House. The President is pushing the Senate. They've been listening to him a lot lately, haven't they Well, the Senate, they're already on recess right now, so I don't know when this would happen. They're coming back in September. But he posted this quote, the Senate must vote on the No More Changing the Clocks Act as soon as possible. That's not the official name, but I like what he said. Yeah, he goes on to say, more sun later in the day is better, including for crime fighting, but even more importantly, no more ridiculously changing clocks and watches twice yearly, with all of the disruption and chaos it causes. Finally get it done. This is the thing. I mean, this is I don't know why, why this is. I don't know how much he's going to push for this. Is this one of those things let me jump on something people might like, push for it.

00:15:09
Speaker 1: I think he thinks it's you know, and it is. But this is what really struck me, because you mentioned I forgot what year it was that we actually did this as a nation. And so they go through this whole process of voting this into law, no more standard time, and one year later it was like overwhelming majority of folks wanted to go back to switching back and forth. So that was kind of like the proof for me that we did it. We tried it, and it was overwhelmingly disliked.

00:15:40
Speaker 2: It was a failure. It was a failure standard time. I'm all about it. Let's stay on one time all year.

00:15:47
Speaker 3: But it can't be daylight saving. It won't work.

00:15:49
Speaker 1: We shall see what happens with that one. All right, next up on the run A and this is the final leg of No we have one more after this. A legendary picture with a legendary name has passed way. Tommy John died in Florida this week at the age of eighty three.

00:16:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, impressive twenty six year career. He was an All Star I think four years. But his lasting impact on the game is the surgery that bears his name, Tommy John surgery. This is an incredible story of his legacy on the game. He was the first pitcher to successfully have this surgery. The surgery is done by repairing a ligament in a pitcher's pitching arm by replacing it with tissue from somewhere else in the body. Now, at the time he did this, they tried it. They'd perform stuff like this on the wrist in other parts of the body, but it was the first one that has been done and successfully done on a pitching arm. And this was a career ending thing before this revolutionary surgery which today is saving pitchers careers and team's futures left and right.

00:16:56
Speaker 3: He was the first.

00:16:57
Speaker 1: I did not realize Tommy John surgery.

00:17:00
Speaker 3: You hear it. It's because of him. He was the first, and what a legacy he has for the game. I love this story.

00:17:06
Speaker 1: Well, next up and finally on this run, this is also a great story. I mean, this really is remarkable. Spider Man won the box office this weekend, and that's no surprise. But the bigger deal is that Spider Man Brand New Day has now surpassed two billion dollars at the box office.

00:17:26
Speaker 3: Did it in an eleven days, so it happened in the middle of the last week. But it was the second fastest film to hit two billion dollars.

00:17:33
Speaker 2: You can guess the first. Every time we say they came in second for something. The one that was number one is The Avengers Endgame. But yes, it's the second fastest ever to that milestone. On now, only eight movies in history have made at least two billion dollars. They're saying Roams is a little early. Could this be the first film in history to hit three billion dollars? And also could it be the first film in history to hit one billion just in the US box office?

00:17:59
Speaker 3: We'll see.

00:18:00
Speaker 1: Wow, we still haven't seen it, and you don't really have a desire to if it's not.

00:18:03
Speaker 3: A horror movie.

00:18:04
Speaker 2: I mean, if you give Spider Man a knife, and I mean I've.

00:18:08
Speaker 1: Never seen one of the Spider Man movies. I've never seen Avengers.

00:18:11
Speaker 3: Helbey MacGuire, you didn't see those.

00:18:12
Speaker 1: No, I've never seen one Spider Man movie ever in my life.

00:18:16
Speaker 3: Shelby McGuire liked his run history.

00:18:19
Speaker 1: But he didn't get two billion, right, Oh no, not even close.

00:18:23
Speaker 3: That wasn't in the billion dollar days of the box office.

00:18:25
Speaker 1: I am interested, though, if something can do that well, just like I'm interested in recognizing why and how it gets to be that big and that.

00:18:35
Speaker 2: Beloved, because it has been building since what twenty sixteen or something when he was first introduced to Spider Man in an Avengers movie Civil War, right, and they slowly built him up, just a few a movie every few years. He's making appearances another movie. So now we all love Tom holland we know him as Spider Man. Oh my god, he's dating who.

00:18:58
Speaker 3: Her? And they're not even telling us a lot about their relationships.

00:19:03
Speaker 2: So we can root for them quietly and we can celebrate them, and we can see them on screen together as a couple.

00:19:10
Speaker 3: And he's a superhero.

00:19:12
Speaker 1: They should give a masterclass in how to navigate a relationship in the spotlight, because they have nailed it.

00:19:19
Speaker 2: Sign me up. I will take the first and second semester.

00:19:26
Speaker 1: All right, And on this Monday, we have your quote of the day for you. Please keep going, not because everything is fine, but because everything is deeply unserious and your joy deserves to outlive the nonsense.

00:19:41
Speaker 3: Everything is deeply unserious, man, Can you can try to hold on to that? That's the trick, ain't it?

00:19:46
Speaker 1: It is? Though, Like my mom used to tell me, like, is this gonna matter in five years? Is this gonna matter in ten years? And if the answer is no, let it go. And I used to always try to tell myself that when I get worked up, are you gonna remember this in five days, five months, five years? Oftentimes the answer is no. So please keep going, not because everything is fine, but because everything is deeply unserious, and your joy deserves to outlive the nonsense and without everyone, we hope you have a joyful Monday.

00:20:17
Speaker 3: I'm Amy Roeboch and I'm TJ. Holmes.

00:20:19
Speaker 2: Always appreciate you running with us
